Welcome to Copenhagen!!

Hej!
Today marks exactly two weeks since I moved in with my host family. Things are going really well. I couldn't have asked for a better family! I have to admit I was terrified until the day before I left because I knew absolutely nothing about my host family, until they sent me a message. It was such a relief when I found out information because I was all packed and ready to go, but I had absolutely no idea about my host family, until that Sunday morning before church.
The only thing I dislike about my host family is the fact that I am living a 1 hour and 10 minute commute from Copenhagen. It is usually fine except when I have 8:30 classes, but I have managed. I thought I was doing so well because my whole time at University of Rochester, my earliest class was at 9:40 and I never had a 9AM class like most of my classmates, and when I had a 9:40 class I was only living in Sue B. so I was only about 10 minutes away from class. One nice thing about having such a long commute is that I have plenty of time to finish my homework. It allows me to spend more time with my host family on the weekends because I don't feel I have to spend all my time doing homework.
My classes are going really well. I am taking Health Delivery and Prioritization in Northern Europe, Holocaust and Genocide, Danish Language, Public Health Ethics and Human Trafficking in a Global Context. I have already been on a field trip for my Danish language class to the Rosenberg Castle, and we had culture night at a book cafe on Thursday. I am going on a field trip for my Health Delivery and Prioritization class this weekend. This field trip is an overnight field trip. We are going to Jutland (the western part of Denmark). We also saw a movie for my Human Trafficking class called Lilja-4-Ever. This movie provided insight into the life a person who is being trafficked.
Yesterday I made pancakes for my host family because they had never had American pancakes. I had decided that no matter how they turned out I would say thats how they were supposed to be considering they had never tasted them before and I didn't have the help of Bisquick, but fortunately Netto (the grocery store) carries REAL maple syrup. Today I made brownies, and that was interesting because it was an American recipe in Danish, so when I was reading the directions I wasn't totally sure how I was supposed to put it together so I just kind of guessed and hoped it came out right, which they seemed to come out pretty well and everyone was pleased.
It has been FREEZING cold since I've been here. I honestly didn't know why the cold was bothering me so much, but I finally figured it out! I am outside so much. When I am at U of R we have tunnels and I am outside for maybe 20 minutes every day maximum, but here I am outside waiting for the bus, then waiting for the train, then walking to DIS once I get off the train, and then walking outside between classes. It all makes sense. It is nice to get the fresh air though even though it may be bitter cold. Last night we got about 4 inches of snow, and it looks gorgeous. I am glad I have at least seen 1 pretty snow this season.
So much has happened these last 2 weeks! I can't even begin to tell all the details. I have met so many interesting people since I've been here.
I will attempt to update my blog on a regular basis, and tell more interesting stories, but for now I should really go to bed as the bus leaves at 6:50 in the morning.
Vi ses!!
